highly subjective and extremely controversial: Kettle Park West.
1. Kettle Park West

2014 was the year of Kettle Park West in
Stoughton.
Although developer Forward Development Group had been discussing a potential commercial project on the citys west
side since the fall of 2009 and the city gave
initial approvals in the spring and fall of
2012, the real action began in January this
year.
And it wasnt over at least at the Common Council level until December.
On Jan. 14, FDGs Dennis Steinkraus
announced that a Wal-Mart Supercenter
would anchor the 35-acre commercial
center in the developments first phase.
The following day, the city released a

Nine low-income students take a special trip with officers to buy gifts for their families

Reshon had the perfect gift in mind for

his sibling a monster truck. Determinedly
walking down the toy aisles in search of
the toy, he questioned his cop partner, officer Andrew Johnson, Do you know where
the monster trucks are?
He finally found the truck, which left
him bouncing and grinning with excitement because (we) have it and The Lego
Movie (in our cart)!

Reshon and eight other low-income
Stoughton area kids happily ran around
the Wal-Mart in Stoughton from 9-11 a.m.,
Saturday, Dec. 13, during the inaugural

presents to give their family members.

Small Animal Advocates passes chew bone

Animal welfare organization will continue tradition of caring for animals
Bill Livick
Unified Newspaper Group
Kathy and George Thode

figure theyve arranged to
have local veterinarians
spay or neuter more than
1,000 cats and dogs since
founding Small Animal
Advocates nearly 30 years
ago. Most of the cats were
feral.
We decided we needed
to find a solution to the
large numbers of strays and
unwanted, especially cats,
Kathy Thode said, explaining the origin of SAA, the
organization she founded in
February 1985.
Over the years, Small
Animal Advocates held
fundraisers such as an
annual Victorian Holiday
bake sale and garage sales
to help pay for free rabies
clinics and emergency veterinarian visits. And while
the groups initial impetus
was to help animals, Thode
said, the nonprofit organization also helped pet owners who couldnt afford veterinary care.
The Thodes are disbanding SAA on Dec. 31.

Kathys age is catching
up with her, and its time to
pass the baton or, in this
case, the chew bone on to
others.
About four years ago, I
really was feeling that I was
too old for a lot of these
things, she said. I had to
give up the garage sale; other members took that over.
It was a lot of work.
Kathy said she started
praying for a local group
to take over the mission of
SAA. She couldnt stand
the thought of having to
turn away people who
would call needing help for
their pets.
Her prayers were
answered when a likeminded group Buddy of
Mine got established in
2011. The groups founder,
Larry Eifert, said he was
motivated by the same
humanitarian impulses as
the Thodes.
And Buddy of Mines
mission is also identical:
people helping pets (and
Have a Healthy and Happy Holiday Season

stoughtonhospital.com
adno=388345-01
Have a Merry Christmas

and Happy New Year
their owners).
The group raises funds
and gives out free dog and
cat food at its annual Santa
Paws Christmas Party. It
also holds a spring heartworm clinic, and will take
over the rabies clinic that
SAA held twice each year.
The first one will take
place March 7 at the Fire
Station.
SAA beginning
Small Animal Advocates
began after Thode stopped
in whats now Chalet Veterinary Clinic to ask the vet
if he could help with free
spays and neuters of kitties
that are roaming around,
Kathy recalled.
The veterinarian
explained that wasnt possible in a small facility like
his, with all the insurance
issues and that sort of thing.
He suggested Thode start
an organization, and thats
what she did. She placed an
ad in the Courier Hub that
said anyone interested in
starting an animal welfare
organization should meet at
Country Kitchen in Stoughton.
About six people showed
up.
It was a good beginning, Kathy said. That
gave me encouragement,
and so we got started right
away.
She established SAA, and
11 people attended its first
meeting. She arranged to
have Dr. Michael Peterson
as the guest speaker.
That same year 1985
SAA held its first rabies
clinic, where it did 100
immunizations. It also held
its first garage sale in May
1985. Later, in July, it held
a drawing at the Stoughton

Advocates in1984, passed the baton to Mya Everson, Katelyn
Elsing, the organizers of Buddy of Mine. In front is the real Buddy.
Fair for a free spay or neuter.

We didnt have much
money when we first started, Kathy remembered,
so we did drawings. People would put their name
in a bowl if they needed a
free spay or neuter, and we
picked one that we could

afford to pay for. Actually,
we selected two winners at
that time.
The organizations activities have just snowballed
since then.
Its been fantastic the people who have
encouraged us and promoted us and volunteered, she

said.
The group held its first
Victorian Holiday bake
sale in 1997. Several years
later, SAA established its
Boomer Fund, named after
a sweet little dog that came
to the Thodes in bad shape.
Everybody fell in love
with him, Kathy said. He
only lived a couple years;
he developed a fast-acting
leukemia.
When he passed away,
people sent a donation in
his honor to us. We turned
that over to the Small Animal Advocates and called it
the Boomer Fund.
The fund is used to help
people whose pets need
emergency surgery. The
fund paid for the first visit
to the vet.
Buddy of Mine has a similar fund, Eifert said. Its
called the Dillion Fund and
provides grants for pets that
need emergency, usually
life-saving surgery.
Kathy said shes been
thrilled to see the growth
in the number of organizations in Dane County and
throughout the state that
share SAAs mission
groups like Friends of Feral
and Shelter from the Storm.
The Humane Society does
periodic low-cost cat spays
and neuters, she noted.
Organizing and running SAA has been a good
thing, Kathy said. People would call and say my
pet is sick or injured and I
dont even have money to
take it to the vet. And so we
got the dog or cat or whatever sometimes a lizard
into the vet, and they could
go from there.

American Transmission Co. is planning a $37

million expansion of its
systems operations center
in the town of Pleasant
Springs, one of the larger
construction projects in
the town in several years.
When it was formed
in 2001, ATC acquired
an Alliant Energy facility near the intersection of
Rinden Road and County
Hwy. N.
Alliants 40-acre facility was built in the 1970s
and added to in 1993.
However, ATCs expanding power line system has
made for crowded conditions there, said Anne
Spaltholz, an ATC spokesperson.
The facility is at capacity now and technology
has changed to where this
facility needs to expand
to accommodate that new
technology and the cooling equipment, too, she
said.
Plans submitted to the
Wisconsin Public Service Commission in
October and November
call for construction of
16,000-square-foot data
center, 11,000-square-feet
of office space and 40
parking stalls.
The new parking stalls
do not mean hiring in addition to the approximately
30 employees working at
the facility, said Spaltholz.
Instead, some existing
parking will have to be
replaced to accommodate
the proposed expansion.
Space needed for the
additional computer
equipment will fill the
proposed data center and
existing office space,
requiring ATC to construct
more office space for its
employees, Spaltholz said.
ATC has had little
communication with the

town about the expansion, said Town Clerk
Cassandra Suettinger. She
referred a reporters questions to Steve Kittelson,
building inspector, who
said he did not know about
the project.
I havent talked to
ATC directly about it. A
contractor contacted me
earlier this year with permitting questions but gave
me no information of what
kind of building it would
be, Kittelson said.
Although its located in
the town, ATC refers to
the property as the Cottage
Grove Facility.
Considered a public utility, ATC pays no property
taxes but is assessed a fee
in lieu of taxes to the state,
which is shared with the
town, Spaltholz said. She
had no details Thursday on
the amount the town currently receives and what it
would receive if the facility is expanded.
The current facility
controls a substantial portion of ATC's network of
transmission lines. Among
other things, the expansion
would allow it to control
the remainder of the transmission network in the
event of a failure at ATC's
Pewaukee headquarters.
ATC is owned by several municipal and investor-owned utilities in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan
and Minnesota, including
Stoughton Utilities. The
cost of the project will be
indirectly recovered from
utility customers, according to ATCs application
to the PSC.
In addition to approval
by the PSC, the projects
needs permits from the
town, Dane County, the
Department of Natural
Resources and the Department of Agriculture, Trade
and Consumer Protection.

Lack of response to Wal-Mart

survey shows communitys opinion
I think the survey that was
taken in regards to How Do the
Citizens Feel is really not complete.
How can you get 426 responses out of 9,000 and say its what
the residents want?
Do you think maybe the silent
majority has spoken by not
responding to it.
Im concerned about the downtown area, but businesses are
opening and closing in downtown all the time.
Does that have anything to do
with Wal-Mart?
New people move to this town
all the time, I bet if you surveyed
them you would find out they
shop in Madison.
I dont know who started
Stoughton Forward, but where
were they when Pick and Save

came in and put Kohls Food store
out of business and later Toms
Market went out of business. WalMart didnt sell groceries then.
Maybe Buzz Davis has nothing to do, but he must know the
majority of the people in Stoughton do not agree with him.
I wonder if he does all this
negative stuff on his own. It is
sure getting old.
I would like to know if Buzz
has a list of all the people working at downtown businesses
who are making a better wage
and getting better benefits then
Wal-Mart offers, if so please list
them, Buzz.

City acting irresponsibly on KPW

New Wal-Mart store. Our City
Council should put their feet in
some of the residents shoes when
it comes to spending our money.
The TIF money will come out
of our pockets whether we like it
or not. This is no way to run our
citys government.
Spending our hard-earned
dollars should be voted on and
everything should be made perfectly clear about how this is to
be done and for what reason. Our
City Council has a responsibility to
all taxpayers here in Stoughton to
spend our tax dollars wisely and to
save us tax dollars whenever they
can. Their job is not to decide about
spending our dollars to help a new
Super Wal-Mart get into Stoughton.
The Wal-Mart stores are a
multi-billion dollar facility and
if they want a store here, they
should spend their own money

to get it here, this should be the
neighborly thing to do, after all
they will be making all of the
money spent at this new store.
Somehow some of our City
Council members seem to think it
is OK to spend our money to get
a new store here? I say we spend
our tax dollars wisely and try to
save the citizens of Stoughtons
tax dollars instead of spending
them like there is no tomorrow.
After all that is their job, to save
us tax dollars and lower our taxes, not to raise them like some of
them are doing on this Wal-Mart
project. This is totally irresponsible way for our City Council to
spend our hard-earned money!

Letters to the editor
City leaders have ignored Stoughtons core values

I have moved around Wisconsin
a lot for undergraduate and graduate education and family reasons. I
have never encountered a city that
felt as warm and cozy as Stoughton does.
The people here make Stoughton
what it is. Compassionate, hardworking, genuine people that we
are fortunate enough to have fill an
entire town. From Koffee Kup to
Fosdals to Believe to El Rio and
the list is lengthy these owners/
workers and their businesses give
Stoughton the at home feeling it
has.
The very thought of this culture being threatened disgusts
me. However, it does not disgust
me more than learning it is being
threatened by the very leaders who
we trusted its safety with. Leaders who have a responsibility to
maintain the cultural richness of
the community who elected them.
Leaders who were thought to have
a strong enough moral character to

close their eyes to dollar signs and
big corporate contracts to uphold
the integrity of our community.
Leaders who were trusted to listen to the community that elected
them.
It is clear to see that our leadership has failed us. Not only do they
nolonger hold the core values of
our community dear, they have
exiled us fromcommunity-changing decisions altogether. This is not
leadership. This is not democracy.
Corporate oppression (like the
oppression of Wal-Marts workers)
is against Stoughton values. More
importantly however, local oppression the oppression of our own
community members is against
Stoughton values. Leadership
should be ashamed of themselves.
More importantly, they should
be ashamed of the direction they
are leading this community in a
direction that cannot be reversed. A
direction thatwill forever change

the heart of Stoughton.
For when the bulldozers come,
they will be the ones single-handedly swiping the keys of local business owners. With that key goes
pride. With that key goes heritage.
With that key goes a legacy of
ancestors whose blood, sweat, and
money kept their business going.
If our leadership is comfortable
with this outcome my message is
this: Enjoy your remaining time
in office as it will not continue
beyond this appointment. Forever
remember the keys you took from
your own people. Look them in the
eye as you pass them on the street.
Go to bed each night with their faces burned on your eyelids. Remember the day you stripped Stoughton
of all it ever stood for.

Stoughton
City should ask Wal-Mart for new market plan for KPW
On Monday evening, Dec. 15,
2014, Doug McMillon, CEO of
Wal-Mart, was interviewed by
PBS Charlie Rose
Mr. McMillon admitted during the interview that Wal-Marts
supersized stores are a thing of the
past. Customers dont want to walk
all that far anymore. A few years
ago, we recognized that and started
adjusting the supercenters down to
a smaller size.
In addition to downsizing stores,
Wal-Mart is rolling out a new store
concept that is about one-fifth the
size of a supercenter. (That would
be about 20-30 thousand square
feet about the size of the current
Wal-Mart in Stoughton.)
The stores, called Neighborhood

Markets, carry a smaller assortment of merchandise and focus
heavily on groceries, pharmacy,
and fuel. This new strategy was
announced in October of 2013.
Over the years Wal-Mart has
established more than 3,300 supercenters and already has about 400
Neighborhood Market stores.
Suggestion: The Stoughton
City Council should immediately
re-open negotiations with WalMart and demand a Neighborhood
Market be built instead of the proposed supercenter. This would be
in keeping with Wal-Marts longterm strategy. By doing this the
Council could redirect the $5.1
million TIF money to assist in

Stoughtons downtown and east
side development, both of which
are sorely needed.
If the City Council persists in
following the outdated Wal-Mart
supercenter strategy, I can only
envision the Wal-Mart executives
laughing all the way to the bank
and making Stoughton look foolish
throughout the Midwest.
Please, step back and take a
long look at the now-outdated
Wal-Mart proposal that is currently
on the table.

Wal-Mart employees can earn raises, better education

Why do KPW opponents need to
distort and use innuendo in order to
push their agenda?
Their claims of TIF money
going to the Walton family (false),
innuendo of employees needing
assistance because they work at
Wal-Mart along with their living
wage claims.
Its clear they either dont understand how TIF works, or they
dont care, and damn the facts. The
wealth of the Walton family and
Wal-Mart profits (usually 3-3.5
percent a year, which is pretty low)
are separate issues.
Wal-Mart started as a small
store, which the opponents seem
to love, but hate it when that same
family business becomes successful. Why is that?

Yes, Wal-Mart pays minimum
wage, to start. If you can prove value to the company, theyll give you
a raise, just like any other company. They also offer programs that
will let you complete or further
your education, and put you on a
track to management programs.
Dont like what you are getting
paid? Ask for a raise if you think
you deserve one, or go somewhere
else. The days of the captive company towns are long gone.
Minimum wage was never
intended to be a living wage. It
is a first job or supplemental job
wage. Nobody is forced to work
for minimum wage or at Wal-Mart.

Opponents need to understand that,
but instead, harp on the employees need assistance angle.
Never mind the fact that many
employees are already enrolled in
various assistance programs before
starting at Wal-Mart. Never mind
that Wal-Mart employs a lot of
disabled and senior citizens, many
of whom are supplementing their
social security or disability payments, but at the same time are
often limited by government rules
on how many hours they can work.

Shop: Police department program helps area families in need

Continued from page 1

into the program, but that

never felt quite right. He
wanted Stoughton to have
its own program.
So, almost one year ago,
he finally suggested it to
police chief Greg Leck,
who in turn agreed and suggested Stachel start planning it.
Police officers may be in
uniform eight hours a day,
but were your friends,
your neighbors Were
trying to make this city a
better place, Stachel told
the Hub.
Nine children from
Stoughton public elementary schools were chosen
this year to be paired with
a police officer and given
$200, made possible by
donations from local businesses and the people in
Stoughton, to buy Christmas gifts for their family.
In order to be chosen,
the children had to be students between second and
fourth grades in the Stoughton Area School District,
behaving well in class and
operating appropriately at
their grade level. They were
chosen based on their economic need and were being
rewarded for their good
behavior and hard work.
The children were paired
with an officer at a local
middle school to start the
morning and enjoyed a
breakfast before the group
headed out on a school bus
to go shopping.
You dont want hungry kids to go shopping,
Stachel said. Then theyll
focus on food.
On the way to Wal-Mart,
some of the children were
so excited for the shopping
trip that they couldnt stop
gushing about the details
of what they wanted to
buy while others nervously
kept to themselves, peering
out the windows as the bus
bounced down the roads.
Once they happily exited
the bus, they immediately
set off to find the various
items on their lists.
Do you want to start in
the electronics (department)
and then go to other departments? one officer suggested to the child he was
paired with.
The children ran around
Wal-Mart looking for the
different items on their
lists, some heading straight
to where they knew the
items could be found and
others browsing the aisles
in search of what they
wanted to get.
Do you think thisll fit?
Is this about your dads
size? officer Johnson
asked Reshon, lifting up a
sweatshirt to check its size.
After collecting items
costing a total of $200, the
children headed with their
cop partner to checkout
aisle number three, where
they had big smiles on their
faces as they put the items
on the conveyor belt.
They purchased everything and then all got back
on the bus, which was quite
the task as the children
now had bulging bags full
of gifts. Finally, everyone
headed back to the school.
Once they got inside, the
children chose from a table
full of wrapping paper and
each went to their own table

covered with all of their

gifts.
Smiling, laughing and
talking, everyone got down
to the task at hand.
Two down, only a few
more to go, officer Joe
Kellogg joked as he finished wrapping one gift and
looked at the table full of
others to wrap.
Eventually, everything
quieted down. The gifts
were all wrapped and set to
go. Everybody had a plate
full of pizza donated by
Pizza Hut in front of them,
and they all sat down to
relax and talk or watch the
movie Frozen.
Before heading off to
watch the movie, one child
commented that it was fun
shopping.
Im really amazed at
how much the businesses
stepped up and helped,
Stachel said while he
looked around the room at
the wrapped presents and
happy kids.
He said he wants to build
relationships between the
public and police and give

back to the community.
Its about helping out
the families, Stachel said.
Its about helping out
these kids, about trying to
help and guide these kids
on a path they might not see
otherwise.
Now that year one is
done, he is already looking
ahead to the future and how
the program can have an
impact on the departments
standing within the community.
I want this program to
continue for years and years
to come theres always
going to be somebody who
needs the encouragement to
do the right thing, even if
you dont have the best circumstances, Stachel said.
We want this to be kind of
a program to put a face with
the police department that
we are not here to be the
rough and tumble bad guys.
Were here to improve the
quality of life or all the citizens of Stoughton.

The Second Birth

The transforming power of spiritual
experiences has made metaphors of birth
or rebirth common in religious literature.
Saint Pauls conversion on the road to
Damascus is perhaps the paradigm of
being born again, but we see it throughout the Bible.
In the Old Testament, Jacob is renamed
Israel after wrestling with God, surely a
sign that he has been transformed in the
process. But these transformations are not
always so sudden or dramatic.
Sometimes they take months or even
years to occur, and while there is a tendency to be impressed by the sudden
change when someone goes from being
a profligate drunkard to a sober penitent
overnight, usually these changes take
time to occur and time to settle in.
Perhaps it is better to think of conversion as an ongoing process of God working continuously to bring us as near to
perfection as we are capable of. Those who
are quickly converted are sometimes also
quick to relapse into old habits, while those
in whom God makes slow but steady progress may be more unswerving in their faith.
Williams James remarks in The
Varieties of Religious Experience that
The real witness of the spirit to the
second birth is to be found only in the
disposition of the genuine child of God, the
permanently patient heart, the love of self
eradicated. The true test of the conversion
experience, or of any religious experience,
is the fruit which it bears.

Making a statement
Stoughton gets nine
wrestlers into the top six,
wins Badger State invite
Anthony Iozzo
It had been a while since the

Stoughton High School wrestling
team won the Badger State Invitational, but Saturdays overall finish
at the Alliant Energy Center was
even more special due to the competition.
The Vikings edged Freedom

287-274 for the team title, and they
did so with two champions, three
runner-ups, three third places and a
sixth-place finish.
All that with five-to-six ranked
wrestlers in each weight class.
The greatest part about todays
performance by our guys is that we
left a lot of points on the board and
could have won more matches. And
yet, as a team, we were still able to
get it done with a great field, cohead coach Dan Spilde said. I think
that is a credit to how good they can
be if they pull it together.
We obviously have a lot of things

to work on because we lost some
close matches, but getting that many
people placing high and getting
some champions and winning all
those place-matches was big
Junior Collin Kraus, ranked No. 2
at 138 pounds in Division 1, had to
knock off honorable mention Isaac
Lodise (Pewaukee) in the semifinals and Cody Walrath (Freedom)
ranked No. 2 in Division 2 in the
finals to win his title.
Kraus edged Lodise 6-3, and he
scored a takedown with four seconds left against Walrath for the 4-2
decision.
For Kraus, he said being a defending state champion put extra weight
on both he and his opponents shoulders.
I feel like it makes them a little
nervous, but it also makes me a little nervous also because I have to
defend the title and be the No. 1 guy
still, Kraus said.
Sophomore Brandon Klein
ranked No. 9 at 113 pounds added

Icebergs run out of gas

at Sun Prairie
Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
The MSO Icebergs ran out of

gas playing less than full two lines
Thursday inside the Sun Prairie
Ice Arena. The Stoughton girls
hockey co-op (2-6-1 overall, 1-20 conference) had just four girls
on the bench for its Badger Conference game against the fourthranked Cap City Cougars, wearing down en route to a 3-0 loss.
I dont think Sun Prairie has
proved that theyre deserving of
a No. 4 ranking yet, but thats
irrelevant, Icebergs head coach
Mike Jochmann said.We played
a tough three periods against
them. They were fast against us
in our own zone, but we played

some solid player-to-player
defense. I thought we matched up
well against them.
Scoreless through the first period, the Icebergs saw Cap City
senior forward Alexis Peterson
score a pair of even-strength goal
a little over four minutes apart.
She added a third-period assist for
the Cap City Cougars.
The first of Petersons goals
was through a complete screen of
Kenzie Torpy.
There were probably four kids
battling for position and the shot
came from the top of the circle
through the mess, Jochmann
said.Kenzie didnt see it at all.

fell 9-5.
Kaleb is one of those
guys that is just a bundle of
energy, Spilde said. Wrestling a close match against a
returning state champion ..
he had him in danger and had
a chance to put him away. It
just slipped away from his
fingers a little bit.
But he is gaining confidence every week knowing that by putting himself
in those situations, he is that
good.

Sauk Prairie 65, Stoughton 56
The Stoughton High School boys basketball team dropped its first two games
of the season last week to drop to 5-2
overall.
The Vikings started the week ranked
No. 6 in the Wisconsin Basketball
Coaches Association poll but fell 65-56
Friday to Sauk Prairie and 50-47 Saturday at Wisconsin Lutheran, which was
ranked No. 2.
Stoughton is still undefeated in the
Badger South at 2-0.
The Vikings look to get back on the
winning side Monday, Dec. 29, at the
Shawano Sundrop Shootout at the Kress
Center at the University of WisconsinGreen Bay.
Stoughton plays West De Pere (4-2) at
8:40 p.m.
The Vikings were outscored 41-30 in

Fridays loss.
Senior Nick McGlynn led with 18
points, while sophomore Troy Slaby
added 15. Senior Bradley Graffin added
10.
Juniors Brandon Spray and Seth
Kostroski led Sauk with 19 points each.
Wis. Lutheran 50, Stoughton 47

Stoughton nearly pulled out a big road
win Saturday but couldnt hold on to a
slim lead in the fourth.
Wisconsin Lutheran outscored the
Vikings 16-11 in the final quarter.
Slaby picked up 18 points, while
senior Brady Brusegar added 10.
Wisconsin Lutheran was led by senior
Logan McShane who picked up 18
points.
The second goal was an

accidental breakaway for
Peterson.
Maddy Hess had her
lined up perfectly to close
the gap in the neutral
zone, and then caught her
heel in a divot in the ice
just ahead of the blue line.
She hit her tailbone and
the breakaway ensued,
Jochmann said. Kenzie
was just barely shy of the
post with her toe when she
slid into the splits to stuff
the deke. It was a very
close call.She was barely
beaten on that one.
Claire Johnsons powerplay goal 14 minutes into

the third period sealed the
Icebergs fate.
Oregon senior goaltender Kenzie Torpy posted
38 saves, including 15 in
the second period alone,
while the Cougars Dani
Deltgen stopped 19.
The loss was the Icebergs third shutout this
season.
We have yet to have
any strong scoring chances against quality opponents this season, Jochmann said. We are in the
business of manufacturing goals right now, and

scored a hat trick in Edgewoods 5-2 win over Stoughton back on Dec. 13, had a
goal and two assists Friday.

Edgewood senior forward
Jimmy Curliss set the tone
early, scoring 21 seconds into
the first period. Reichenbacher scored a little more than 12
minutes later.
The Crusaders capped the
win with three power-play
goals, including a second
period score from Johnny Van
Gemert and third period goals
from Eliot Friedow and Carter
Hottman.
Matt Murphy stopped 45

Board authorizes public hearings regarding

Deer Trustees Report rule package
The Natural Resources

The Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources plans to
hold nine public hearings at
locations throughout Wisconsin, slated for January 2015.
These hearings will allow for
public comment before the

of the permanent rule in February.
Gov. Scott Walker contracted with Dr. James Kroll
to produce the Deer Trustee

Nothing says Christmas

like lawn ornaments.
Artist Bill Amundson
laughs at the notion, but
his parody lawn ornaments,
satirical colored drawings and wearable art
like Norwegian Viking and
Green Bay Packers pins
no doubt showed up under
the tree in some Stoughton
homes this holiday season.
Amundson opened a
new art gallery and studio on Main Street in early
December.
The AmundArt Hus,
194 Main St., will feature
his work and represents a
coming of full circle for
the Stoughton native. He
moved to Colorado in 1975
and returned four years ago
with his wife, Anita.
I had my first studio
ever in this same building,
he told the Courier Hub.
When I was in college
in Madison I had my own
studio here. So Im back
exactly where I started.
Amundson had been creating art in the basement of

his Stoughton home, where
he also was a caregiver for
his father, Roger, who died
in June.
His wife Anita suggested
that he find another place to
work, and they quickly discovered the space on Main
Street, where his mother
used to have her hair done
back when it was a salon.
Anita said it would be
good for me to see the light
of day, he said. So we
got to looking around, and
it turned out this space was
available and kind of ideal.
Amundson said after his
dad passed, friends thought
hed move back to Colorado. But since returning,

hed come to appreciate his

hometown and wanted to
get re-established here.
Part of his thinking is that
Stoughton has become a
very desirable place to live
and work. He cited changes
in the city including the
initial run of the Catfish

anticipated opening of a
Norwegian Heritage Center,
and the arrival of a few nice
restaurants and a brew pub.
To me, the Opera House
is the key to all this, he
said.
Amundson plans to use
the citys Norwegian heritage in marketing his new
venture, which will be part

retail shop and part workspace.
He anticipates adapting
the business to the season, concentrating on retail
when the time is right and
focusing on more creative
aspects of his work at other
times.
The door will be open

when Im here and anybody
can stop in, he said. Thatll
give me connections with
people that I havent had a
lot of in the past.
Amundson made a career
in Colorado selling parody drawings of Wal-Marts
blowing up and things like
that, he said with a laugh.
That market isnt likely
to dry up with a new supercenter coming to the citys
west side next year.
He and Anita held a grand
opening the first weekend of December that was
well-attended. Since then,
Amundson has been working
to build up his inventory.
The couple is also thinking of activities to host at
the store throughout the
winter.
Amundson said his new
shop has been a good place
to work, and he enjoys having a presence downtown.
Its good just to be out
in public again, because
nobody visits me at home to
see the art, he said. The
space will change some.
Ive been working here for
more than a month now,
and it does feel really good
to have a place to go to
work.

2014: Some alders, many citizens object to taxpayer assistance and process for KPW
development agreement
that called for the city to
provide $5.1 million in
tax-increment financing for
the project and for FDG to
provide a letter of credit for
$5.6 million.
Things heated up on Jan.
28, when the council voted
to approve the development
agreement during a meeting
that lasted more than five
hours.
Ald. Tom Majewski
opposed the plan but voted
with the majority so that
he could ask the council to
reconsider the decision at
its next meeting. The tactic
failed when Mayor Donna

Olson ruled the maneuver
out of order because she
had signed the development agreement in the early
morning hours of Jan. 29.
The rest of the year, the
citys process for considering KPW was characterized
by mistrust, acrimony and
controversy.
Opponents argued that
KPW advocates, including Mayor Olson and her
staff, did not follow the
citys TIF policy and Big
Box ordinance. Proponents
on the council countered
the opposition had disseminated misinformation

project.
The rift also prompted
two write-in candidates for
the April 1 election. Businessmen Dennis Kittleson
challenged the mayor, and
Phil Caravello ran in District 2 against incumbent
Paul Lawrence, a KPW supporter. Both were unsuccessful but have stayed
active on the issue.
In March, the council
adopted a resolution requiring a third-party economic
impact analysis before
further considering KPW
approvals.

proposed development, the
economic analysis generated controversy. It wasnt
until its last meeting in
October that the council
finally approved it despite
failing to gather the extra
information it had asked for
in a previous meeting.
By then, Ald. Tricia
Suess had reversed her
position and was voting against KPW, forcing
Olson to repeatedly vote to
break council stalemates at
6-6.
The mayors tiebreaking
votes enabled the council
to approve the economic
impact analysis, the TIF
project plan and the boundaries for a new TIF District
that includes KPW. Those
approvals came in November, along with a Joint
Review Board decision to
approve creation of TID 7.
On Dec. 9, the council
defeated Ald. Tom Selsors
proposal to place an advisory referendum regarding
TIF for KPW on the April
7 ballot.
A group of activists
opposed to the development hopes thats not the
end of it, however. FDG
must meet its obligations by
June 30 or face more council action, and the group has
vowed to sue the city and
also to launch a petition

2. Referendum gives
room to grow
Trust was far more evident in school district matters this year.
Stoughton Area School
District officials asked for
the trust of voters and they
got it April 1, as district
residents approved a fouryear, recurring $20 million referendum. The vote
was 63-37 on the measure
that permanently raised
the funding floor in a district that would have been
the lowest-funded in Dane
County had the vote gone
the other way.
The referendum will
replace two approved in
2010 that were set to expire
in June. According to the

district, it will cost the
owner of a $200,000 house
an additional $105 during
the next four years. Had it
failed, it would have caused
a $325 drop in district residents 2015 taxes, but it
would have left the district
facing a $3.1 million shortfall for this school year.
Earlier in the year, citing recent improvements to
programs and a 97 percent
high school graduation rate,
district superintendent Tim
Onsager said the community could help the recent
positive momentum in the
schools by passing the referendum.
With your help, weve
built something very special here, but we have
some tough decisions to
make on which course and
where to go from here, he
said.
The recent decline in
state aid and the need to
replace lost income was
a deciding factor to pursue a recurring, rather than
non-recurring referendum,
Onsager said, citing state
revenue clamps put into
place in the early 1990s
that have since hampered
districts with relatively low
budgets like Stoughtons.
That allowed the district to
not have to return to voters
in four years with the same
request.
Weve been stuck in that
low-spending mode since
(then), and we havent been
able to get out of that, he
said.
During the weeks before
the vote, Onsager acknowledged that a recurring referendum might be a tougher
sell to voters, but would
prevent the board from
kicking future budget
issues down the road. He
applauded board members,
who he said were elected
to address this problem.
(They) made a point to
say, We cant keep governing and running the district
by financial crisis, he said.
With enrollment at SASD
in what looks to be a longterm decline, Onsager said
the referendum can help the
district attract and retain
students, which would

improve the financial situation for more than just the

district.
We know that parents
shop around for school districts, he said. I cant see
how a decrease in the quality of education in Stoughton helps increase property
values or make Stoughton
a great place for families or
businesses.

3. Main Street
continues to adapt
Stoughton got another
feather in its cap in October
when the Common Council
established an official Arts
and Entertainment District
in the city. That followed
the addition of several new
businesses in the district
over the summer and new
marketing vehicle for the
downtown.
The district encompasses a large chunk of land,
including the entire downtown - everything between
River Bluff Middle School
to the north, Page Street to
the west, east to Lynn street

and south to Mandt Park.
For Stoughton Arts
Council member Marlene
Widra, that means continuing the recent momentum
generated in the area by
new restaurants, brewpubs
and music festivals.
The growth is incredible, she told Hub earlier this fall. All of a sudden you go downtown in
the evening and its a new
place. Theres a new, exciting vibe.
Widra said the designation means a commitment
from the city in more than
just a name. She said the
arts council, city officials
and business community
should work together to
promote Stoughton as a
destination for people seeking arts and entertainment.
Were not marketing
just for new families coming in and not just people
who live here to come
downtown and take a second look, but for developers and new businesses,
confront them months earlier.

In March, a black Stoughton family received a racially charged letter suggesting
a lynching threat.
In an emotional interview with the Hub in April,
Hester Hale said her family
feared for their lives after
the letter threatened their
son, Javon. It contained an
image of the 18-year-olds
face superimposed on an
image of one of two lynching victims hanging from a
tree, and had text that read,

backlash came in the form

covered the incident after

didnt take long for community members to organize a
rally of Just Love to show
support for the family.
The gathering was held
at a Stoughton Park about
a week after the incident.
More than 100 people of
different races and religions came to show support
for the Hales and to send a
message of antiracism.

Widra said the goal is to

MillFab had operated as lumber processing company

The updated plan limited
truck traffic, added some

requirement for the city
to look at traffic and parking issues after the street

The citys proposed compromise aimed to reduce

without inconveniencing people who live there.
Efforts to reduce truck

Neighbors had also
argued for more public
input on the project. The
proposal was introduced to

Common Council who then
asked for the commission to
take another look. A joint
meeting of the Planning

a public hearing where the
updated plan was formed
and sent back for approval
in August.
Despite some of the early
pushback from neighbors,
the Common Council at
its Aug. 26 meeting unanimously approved a plan to
vacate the sections of road

SENIOR CARE
NURSING PROFESSIONAL
Q. Why Are Elders Always So Cold?

A. Chances are their bodies are merely going through a natural dip in metabolic rate due to the aging
that both the pneumococcal vaccines (PCV13 and PPSV23) are received. The Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that any adult over the age of 65 receive the PCV13 vaccine
followed by the PPSV23 six to twelve months later.
Why does this matter? The pneumococcal disease is caused by an infection from a bacteria and is spread
from person to person through close contact. This disease can lead to severe health problems including:
Lauren Hartlaub RN, pneumonia, blood infections, and meningitis.
WCC, DON-CLTC
Nurses at Nazareth Health and Rehabilitation Center are working hard to ensure that residents are offered
and receive both pneumococcal vaccines as well as their annual flu vaccine.
About 4,000 adults will die each year because of pneumococcal infections. These infections can be hard to treat because certain strains
are resistant to antibiotics making the vaccinations even more important.
For more information regarding these vaccines talk to your healthcare provider or visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines.

elders can become cold outdoors in the sun during summer or indoors in a well-heated room during
winter. It is important to seek medical advice in order to identify underlying causes. Hypothyroidism
and cardiovascular disease are chronic medical conditions that affect body temperature. It is important

body temperature reaches 95 or below. Elders in frail health are more susceptible to hypothermia,
FACHE, CSA
even when the room temperature is 71 to 75. Whether being cold is the result of slowed metabolism
or a medical condition, older adults must stay warm to maintain an appropriate body temperature. Nearly half of the elderly who
develop hypothermia die from its effects. Therefore, a cozy blanket, sweaters, caps, scarfs and gloves are a must during cold
months. Large meals during cold weather also help heat up the body as the digestive process generates heat within. A warm
beverage such as hot chocolate helps too. Avoiding alcoholic beverages is also recommended as they cause the body to lose heat.

for his home and after they were installed, two of the windows leaked water and air. It took the owner
months to get someone out to look at the windows and repair them; however, it was not a successful
repair. When another call was made to the company, they went out of business before the windows
could be repaired. The bottom line, do your research, get recommendations, ask friends and family
about their recent installs, and make sure there is follow up service. A good window will cost you more
but it is well worth the money in the long run.

October
115 years ago (1899)

High school principal
Arthur H. Scholtz wrote rather
scathing piece, calling out students. His article read, in part:
The results of the examinations given at the high school
last week were, on the whole,
disappointing. They indicate
that, notwithstanding the fact
the school has been in session six weeks, many students
do not yet realize the amount
of work that is required and
demanded in a high school
reports will be sent to parents
this week, showing that there
are pupils in the high school
who have not accomplished
one single thing that was
required to complete the work
of the past six weeks most
of these cases of failure result
from idleness, from waste of
time, from lack of energy, and
from utter want of appreciation
of what constitutes good, honest work and progress.
Johan Stokstad was elected president of the freshman
class at Carroll College.
A local farmer was in the
office before hunting season
opened and purchased a couple dozen No Hunting signs,
saying that he would like an
extra line printed on them, saying Survivors will be prosecuted.
105 years ago (1909)
What is likely the largest real estate transaction in
Stoughtons history took place
when Mrs. Carrie Hudson disposed of her property on Main
Street to Walter Atkinson . She
held the title to the corner lot
on which stands the Hudson
House, a brick building that
houses the picture show and
adjoining lot and frame building occupied by the Chinese
laundry.
Around 150 friends and
neighbors of Mr. and Mrs.
Hans Veium helped observe
the couples 25th wedding
anniversary at their farm

home, three miles southeast
of town.
Nels Peterson of Rutland
met an untimely death when
he was thrown from a manure
spreader and suffered a concussion of the brain. The accident happened about a quarter
of a mile from the homestead.
He had just let his sister, Ida,
get up into the seat with him
when the four horses hauling
the spreader took off. About a
rod further on, the sister was
also thrown out, but escaped
entirely unhurt.
While digging a gravel from
a pit on the Mandt Wagon
Co.s tract south of the river,
some workmen discovered a
nearly intact female skeleton
around three feet under the
ground. Dr. Trulson said the
skeleton belonged to an aged
white woman but would not
venture to say how long it was
likely there.
75 years ago (1939)
Members of the First
Baptist church in Stoughton
voted at a special meeting to
allow the church property to
return to the Baptist organization. The Rev. Mr. Herring of
the Baptist convention was in
attendance at the meeting, and
urged the local congregation
to continue. As the church has
so few paying members, it was
stated that it was impossible
to carry on. Services at the
church will be discontinued
and it is probable the property
will be sold.
50 years ago (1964)
Stoughton native Elinor
Wright was the fifth person
in the world to have her heart
valves successfully replaced
by artificial ones. The open
heart surgery was performed
at the University of Oregon
Medical School. Wright had
suffered from the scarring of
her heart valves due to a childhood case of rheumatic fever.

Stoughton Area Schools
superintendent Jim Fricke
was nominated for national
Superintendent of the Year
by his colleagues in the district. Frickes 18 years of service to the district were praised
by fellow administrators.
The murder trial of former Stoughton businessman
Gary Homberg began. He is
accused of murdering his wife,
Ruth Ann, in 1983. She has not
been seen or heard from since.
Sharon Jacobson, Hombergs
mistress, took the stand,
and was cross-examined
by defense attorney Dennis
Burke. The case was reportedly the first to be tried in the
state without a body. Homberg
was later found guilty.
Dane County officials
approved a $155 million
budget, about a 12 percent
hike from 1988, said county
executive Richard Phelps. The
amount means a county tax bill
of $240 for a $50,000 house.
Highlights include establishment of a county recycling
center, airport expansion and
creation of a groundwater protection program.
The Stoughton City Council
unanimously approved creation of a 17-block business
improvement district (BID)
that stretches along Main
Street, from Page Street east
to Stoughton Lumber. An
estimated $20,000 a year will
be raised from the district,
according to city officials.
10 years ago (2004)
Taxpayers will hear from
Stoughton school board members the specific amount of
additional taxes they say are
needed to prevent laying off as
many as two dozen staff members next year. The district is
facing annual budget deficits
of up to $2 million and more,
beginning with 2005-06.
After City Council members
voted 7-5 to deny a motion

to hold a meeting between
Stoughton Hospital representatives and neighbors to discuss concerns about a hospital
plan to expand parking, Mayor
Helen Johnson scheduled a
meeting to do just that. The
Stoughton Plan Commission
had voted 6-1 to approve a
proposal to expand the parking
lot by razing a house, and add
more parking on a now-vacant
lot the hospital purchased several years ago.
Ellie Jackson was named
SHS homecoming queen, and
Darin Oler was named homecoming king.
senior Ben Waller recently
received his Eagle Scout award
for a project he completed at
the high school. He designed
and oversaw the installation
of an outdoor patio area in
the courtyard, including three
tables and benches, shrubs,
and a trash receptacle.
In a move to stop Wal-Mart
from building a supercenter in
Stoughton, leaders from area
towns met with a prominent
law firm that has battled WalMart elsewhere in the state.
Ed Harvey and Glenn Stoddard
of Garvey and Stoddard, S.C.
told leaders from the towns
of Rutland, Dunkirk, Dunn and
Pleasant Springs they could
be a powerful voice against
developmental pressure from
larger municipalities like
Stoughton and Oregon.
A proposed Stoughton
Area School District referendum would increase the mill
rate about 90 cents to cover
the first year of projected
budget deficits through 2010.
Each succeeding year after
2005-06 would see mill rate
increases from 12 to 22 cents
per thousand dollars of property valuation.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF
ORDINANCE CREATING
A PERMIT REQUIREMENT
FOR AGRICULTURAL
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
AND IMPLEMENTS OF
HUSBANDRY
To the Citizens and Land-Owners of

the Town of Pleasant Springs:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on
December 16, 2014, the Town Board of

the Town of Pleasant Springs adopted
an Ordinance Establishing a Permit Requirement For Agricultural Commercial
Vehicles and Implements of Husbandry.
A full copy of the Ordinance is available
at Town Hall, 2354 County Highway N,
Stoughton WI 53589, during regular
business hours, or by email or regular
mail by request. The Town Clerk can be
contacted at 608-873-3063 or by email at
cttops@tds.net
SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE:
Legislation adopted in 2014 increased the allowable weight and length
of agricultural vehicles operated on Wisconsin highways. The higher limits apply on town roads unless a town adopts
an ordinance to require the vehicle
owner to obtain a permit before operating a vehicle which exceeds the previous weight limits. In order to protect the
Towns roads from excessive wear, and
assure that vehicles are safe to operate
on town roads, the Town will require
that the operators of agricultural commercial vehicles and implements of husbandry have a permit to use town roads
if the vehicles exceed 80,000 pounds in
weight and/or the overall length limit of
60 feet for a single vehicle and 100 feet
for a two-vehicle combination.
Farmers who have any questions
about farm vehicles should contact the
Town to determine whether a permit is
required.
The Ordinance imposes a forfeiture
for overweight operation.
